I've also got Gourmet Mon petit cat food £1.50 in Sainsbobs with 75p cashback - these are only small sized sachets but fine if we are feeding our little princess on her own - not for the boy cats

You lot have amazed me with your spreadsheet prowess:T:T

I feel I'm missing out:o:rotfl:

I could start one I suppose to track my January spending as a starting point.

Does anyone have anything user friendly to post?

Tracking your expenses for a month is a good place to start because you can practice all of your basic skills like making a simple formula.
It does take some bravery though - to see in black and white exactly what you are spending and its always more shocking than you thought. I started one of these earlier this year and it was a right eye opener - all the little £1 and £2 spends in Sainsbobs really add up.
I didn't realise how much I spend on cat food each month so this lead me to start checking Amazon for bulk deals - to either see if I can find cheaper or different versions for similar amounts of money.

It depends on how your brain works but it might be worth seeing what you tube tutorials you can find - I find it easier to have a tutorial playing on the tablet/ipad while I have an excel sheet open on the main computer to copy what they are doing.
I've just had a look what you tubes there were and I was learning things I'd forgotten about especially with formulas so I have to go and see if I can implement these
